These staggered 18″ Mercedes-Benz Alphard wheels measure 8.5″ and 9.5″ in width and were manufactured by Ronal for Mercedes-Benz in Germany for use on R230 Mercedes-Benz vehicles. The faces feature a polished finish with silver painted inserts and remain in original condition. Dimensions, offsets, and other manufacturer casting marks are present on each wheel and four OEM Mercedes-Benz center caps are included. Older Michelin Pilot Sport tires are installed and included in the sale. The seller is also including a set of four 15mm wheels spacers with a complete set of 20 lug bolts in the sale. Not all vehicles will need them but they will be included for those that do. These OEM Mercedes-Benz wheels are now offered by the seller in El Monte, California with shipping offered at the buyer's expense.
These five-hole wheels were originally offered as an optional wheel for the R230 SL-Class by the factory and show polished faces with silver painted inserts and include OEM center caps. The single-piece wheel consists of five twisted spokes. Photos of the faces and rears of the wheels can be seen in the gallery. Minor wear from prior use is noted around some of the lug holes. The original finish presents very well.
The 8.5″ front wheels display part number A230 401 1402 with an offset of +35, while the 9.5″ rear wheels show part number A230 401 1802 with an offset of +40. Four 15mm wheel spacers are included in the sale if needed, which would adjust the offset to +20 front and +25 rear if installed. The Mercedes-Benz Order numbers show B66474260 for the fronts and B66474261 for the rears. All four wheels feature a 5x112mm bolt pattern and 66.6mm center bore. Michelin Pilot Sport tires are installed showing older date codes from 2008. There's no visible dry rot or cracks in the tires and the seller recommends using the tires for display purposes or storage only.
The wheels are made by Ronal for Mercedes-Benz and manufacture markings on the back of each wheel along with part numbers, offset and a production mark showing Germany as the place of manufacture.
The MB Market Insights
As one of the most univerally loved wheel designs, the twisted spoke wheel has been used across various manufacturers for decades. The Alphard wheel by Mercedes-Benz is one of the best to ever do it. As an optional wheel for the R230, finding a set has become increasingly difficult as they're one of the rarer choices from the era. The size and offset of the Alphard wheels make them interchangeable on various other Mercedes models, and we've even seen them used on a number of other brands including Volkswagens as well. Whether you're looking to increase the curb appeal of your SL or have another model in need of a bit of flare, these Alphard wheels may be exactly what you're looking for.
Under an hour to go on these exceptionally clean set of OEM Alphard wheels, don't miss out on them. I will make the post-sale process as easy as possible for the potential winner and ship them as quick as possible, so you receive them in a timely manner. It took me some time to find a set in this condition, and these will be a great addition to a well-preserved example or restoration project. I'll be available for any final questions.
The seller is including a full set of four (each pair are specific for the front or rear) 15mm wheel spacers with lug bolts in the sale. Some vehicles may need them while others may not. A picture of the spacers and bolts have been added to the gallery.
These will fit a 2004 SL500, yes? Want to confirm as you mentioned they were on an r129. Also, do you have an estimate of shipping (without tires) to New Jersey? Thanks.
Hello @UncleFred1 these should fit your 600SL but you will need to order some hybrid wheel bolts as your stock bolts may not be plug and play. That is all you would have to do and you can find them online with a bit of research.
Hello everyone excited to offer these extra clean set of Alphard wheels. The Alphard design has always been one of my favorite factory Mercedes wheel designs. They have a timeless look, and they work well with a variety of cars in my opinion. I originally bought them to install on my 2001 R129 but went a different route. The tires on them I think are awesome, so I left them on there. They were stored in a temperature-controlled unit and show no signs of dry rot. In my opinion they can still be used as rollers, but I will leave that up to you guys to determine. If any questions, I'll be available to answer them.

Yes they all hold air and there is no cracks or bent @eleaston42Can you confirm that all of the wheels hold air pressure, not out of round, bent or cracked?Yes I can remove the tires no problem @mekantorHello @UncleFred1 these should fit your 600SL but you will need to order some hybrid wheel bolts as your stock bolts may not be plug and play. That is all you would have to do and you can find them online with a bit of research.Would you consider removing tires to reduce shipping weight?Since you were going to use these on your 129 , can you confirm if they will fit a ‘93 600SL? They would be ideal i think, so please advise!😉Hello everyone excited to offer these extra clean set of Alphard wheels.
